  1. I put about 150 jumps on a Falcon 215 F-111 canopy when I first bought gear. I then downsized to a Hornet 190 z-p. After 30 or so jumps on it, I have just bought a brand new f-111 Falcon to replace it. My weight is usually around 190 to 195. It's not that I didn't like the Hornet, but with the amount of jumps I was getting per year (local DZ closed and now I get about 20-25 jumps per year) I wasn't current enough to keep packing the thing with ease. The Falcon was very easy to pack and land. I just feel more confident with F-111 with so much time between jump trips. Good luck with your choice!
  2. The view over Superior/Duluth is phenomenal. The owners and jumpers there are very friendly and helpful. Restaurant and bar attached. Great food!! Two planes for those occasional formation loads. Dz is small in size but big in fun!!
